No sooner do I finish writing the previous post than I talk to Heather. Earlier today she was working on her laptop with the AC adapter plugged in, when all of a sudden it shut down on her. She noticed a little puff of smoke coming from behind her, and looked to see that part of the power cable had melted. Geesh.
Anyway, the house is still standing, but now more than ever I'm convinced that there is a serious electrical problem here, and our electrician still isn't answering his phone. The parental units will be back from "vacation" tomorrow, and hopefully that will make things seem more sane here. I'm not going to pretend that I've been acting completely rationally since Saturday, but given my experience with the last fire, I think I've got a darn good excuse for that.
I was going to go up to Detroit on Thursday to catch the Tigers game, but those plans have to be put on hold for now. Le sigh.
